We have been asked to participate in streaming a video for Hyper Island School of Design in Sweden. This is the 2nd in a series of 10 being released exclusively to a few sites, including ours. The purpose is to create some buzz for their Diploma Program for English speaking people.

“In this video, current students at Hyper Island talk about what they think is unique with their education, their learning from Hyper and what they are currently working on.”

For more on Hyper Island go to their site / blog. The first video in this series can be seen at FormFiftyFive.
